need help. QUESTION!
Im going to make this short and accurate about this. The other day when i started
my car it straight up rev up at 5k RPM, causing it to smoke badly. Turn off. Try
again. Did this 3 times. I dont think the gas pedal is stuck, it self revs on its on at
5k rpm Before this problem occur it usually takes me 3 trys to get my car to start.
It would stall the first and second then good on the third.*steady idle at 2k rpm
then drops to 1k rough idling/ or stall.* Sometimes i can stop the idling by playing
with the tps screw, its not accurate but i can make it stop idling.
-bad tps?
-exhaust leak?
-rebuild time?
-Is it fixable?
-Any suggestions?? HELP!!

I'm about to go to bed, but here's a few questions to get you started.
Did it suddenly start doing this? Did you do anything to it before this happened? Did anything happen right before this started? What color is the smoke? Does it always smoke or just at startup?
Do the bubbles-in-the-filler-neck check to see if the coolant seals are bad if the smoke is white (search for "bubbles in coolant check" or something similar). Do a compression check just in case. The idle sounds like you might have some vac leaks, though I'm not quite sure why it revs up to 5k then goes down to 1-2k. Maybe an out-of-wack accelerated warmup (3k startup) system?
Also, where on Earth are you in case it needs work? Maybe someone can recommend a good place to go.
